Description

Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots

This simple act of reconnecting children with nature is Sharon Lovejoy's purpose, joy and gift.

She presents 12 spirited, easy-to-implement ideas for theme gardens that parents and kids can grow together.

Illustrated throughout by the author's own lyrical watercolors, each garden includes a plan, the planting recipe -- seeds, seedlings, and growing instructions spelled out step-by-step -- and activities.

Discovery Walks teach kids how the gardens work, and a chapter on gardening basics includes a child-friendly 10-Minute Plan for planting and maintenance, plus a list of the top 20 plants guaranteed to make gardeners out of kids.
